Be it known that l, Amino- K.`DYKE, e United States, residing at Traverse City, in the county of Grand Traverse and Statevoi Michigan, have invented e, new and useful SprayingNozzle,

of which the fohowing' is a specification.

The present :invention appcrtains 'to 4 ipreving lr'iozzles for insecticides and other liquids, and anne to provide a novelnnd improved device of that character.

Sift yis the object ot" .the i.-.-;esen-t invention 4to provide @nozzle for the. spraying of trees or other vegeta-tion, or for other kindred purposes, which shell he so constructed and operable so astio produce n fine spray capte.

bleef covering either smell or large ereas` at will, the size ofthe spray being regulated by the operator.

Another object of' -tlie ,present 'invention is to lprovide :e device or -the character Vindicated which shnli embody 'means for clean- .out vthe .outlet aperture or orifice. after each operation, end Which shell he so constructed es to erndicet'e dribbling.

he `present invention .also coinprehends the provision of a device of .the nature indil'cated which shall he improved rgenerally in :and Y cloime'd,

.its construction und which shall possess a. ligh degreeof util-ity, es Well as other' char acterist'ics moet desirable.

With lthe foregoing `general objects outhevapperent ,as the-description proceeds, the ypresent 'invention resides iin the "combinationand arrangement of vparte and inthe .details of construction ,hereinafter vdescribed it `heini); vundo'rstood `*that changes-fnthe precise embodiment of the invention can ibe medel within what islclaimed -.with0.ut ,departing [from spirit of. the invention.

n carrying out the invention, reference being had in detail to the drawing, there is provided a. cylinder or barrel 1 having the respective counter bores 2 and 3 at its ends, into which are threaded the respective heads or ends 4 and 5. The cylinder 1 is also provided with a portd in its upper side, the cylinder being disposed horizontal`ly, and adjoining the front end, a. supply pipe 7 being threaded into the port 6 iii-cate with the interior of .the cylinder or barrel' 1. The supply pipe is preferably L- end bent anguor rear end of the pipe 7 hei-ng formed for the en agement of the-supply tubing, as indiente by the numeral 7. It is to be underthat the pipe?l may be connected to any source of insecticide o' liquid in any desirable manner. The heed or f0rward end 4 is provided'withan outwardly 9 passing through the head 4 and its nipple, ing` threaded `over and seated `against the nipple'B.

The spiral motion of the liquid thxou h the bore C' :1nd the eentripetal motion of t e liquid toward the aperture 11, due to the Conenvatnre of the cap, will prevent any particles from lodgingY or remainmg within the bore 9 and `cap 10. When the valve 17 is sented, there will, be no chamber or space boiween the valve seat and the outlet orifice where the liquid :ind as in canse dribbling.

Anotlner salient feature of, the present invention the fact that whenever the valve is senied, the tip 1G will pins through-the ourlet aperture or orifice il and will clean ont sind :iprrinre in ordentliat when said rfilre is niisezii'ed, the ,liquid WilLhave the free und unrestricted i, lt will be noted that The olefin out tip i r--r not liable to become brolcm'i or otherwise injured, the enlnrgrinent. lv! :is well :is the 'valve 17 :ing integral with ihn `rem '15.
